Brilliant as usual, Fred.

I did think intervals only needed to overlap to "correspond", whereas your  
solution requires them to share an end-point.

For instance, in this example the first interval is a subset of the second  
interval and overlaps with the third, yet "components' associates it with  
neither.

event = {{1, 2} + 1/2, {1, 3}, {3, 4}, {5, 6}, {7, 8}, {8, 10}};
components@event

{{1, 3, 4}, {3/2, 5/2}, {5, 6}, {7, 8, 10}}

I can't really guess the OP's intent.
